31. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Minister of Social Security if she will disregard luncheon vouchers in assessing earnings of men retirement pensioners under 70 years of age and women under 65 years of age.

Regulations recently made by my right hon. Friend, which began to operate from 5th June, prescribe that the value of any meal vouchers, up to three shillings for each working day, shall not be taken into account in assessing the earnings of retirement pensioners subject to the earnings rule.
